The grammatical words which play so large a part in English
grammar are for the most part sharply and obviously different
from the lexical words. A rough and ready difference which may
seem the most obvious is that grammatical words have "less {{U}} 1 {{/U}}______
meaning", but in fact some grammarians have called {{U}} 2 {{/U}}______
them "empty" words as opposed in the "full" words {{U}} 3 {{/U}}______
of vocabulary. But this is a rather misled way of {{U}} 4 {{/U}}______
expressing the distinction. Although a word like the is not the name of
something as man is, it is very far away from being meaningless; {{U}} 5 {{/U}}______
there is a sharp difference in meaning between "man is vile" and
"the man is vile", yet the is the single vehicle of this {{U}} 6 {{/U}}______
difference in meaning. Moreover, grammatical words differ
considerably among themselves as the amount {{U}} 7 {{/U}}______
of meaning they have even in the lexical sense. Another name for the
grammatical words has been "little words." But size is by no mean a {{U}} 8 {{/U}}______
good criterion for distinguishing the grammatical words of English,
when we consider that we have lexical words as go, {{U}} 9 {{/U}}______
man, say, car. Apart from this, however, there is a good deal of truth
in what some people say: we certainly do create a great number of {{U}} 10 {{/U}}______
obscurity when we omit them. This is illustrated not only in the poetry of
Robert Browning but in the prose of telegrams and newspaper headlines.
